Comparing Formats for Still Image Digitizing: Part One | The Signal: Digital Preservation The Still Image Working Group<http://www.digitizationguidelines.gov/still-image/?loclr=blogsig>within the Federal Agencies Digitization Guidelines Initiative ( FADGI <http://www.digitizationguidelines.gov/?loclr=blogsig>) recently posted a comparison<http://www.digitizationguidelines.gov/guidelines/File_format_compare.html?loclr=blogsig>of a few selected digital file formats. We sometimes call these *target formats*: they are the output format that you reformat *to*. In this case, we are comparing formats suitable for the digitization of historical and cultural materials that can be reproduced as still images, such as books and periodicals, maps, and photographic prints and negatives. This activity runs in parallel with an effort in the Audio-Visual Working Group <http://www.digitizationguidelines.gov/audio-visual/?loclr=blogsig>to compare target formats for video reformatting, planned for posting in the next few weeks. Meanwhile, there is a third activity pertaining to preservation strategies for born-digital video. The findings and reports from all three efforts will be linked from the format-compare page cited above. http://1.usa.gov/1lG1nhM Source: http://blogs.loc.gov/digitalpreservation/2014/05/comparing-formats-for-still-image-digitizing-part-one/ See if people are clicking on this link: http://1.usa.gov/1lG1nhM+ Try the bitly.com sidebar to see who is talking about a page on the web: https://bitly.com/pages/sidebar -- Peter Kurilecz CRM CA IGP [log in to unmask] Dallas, Texas Save our in-boxes! http://emailcharter.org http://twitter.com/RAINbyte http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/RAINbyte/ http://paper.li/RAINbyte/rainbyte http://pinterest.com/pakurilecz/archives/ http://pinterest.com/pakurilecz/records-management/ http://www.linkedin.com/in/peterakurilecz Information not relevant for my reply has been deleted to reduce the electronic footprint and to save the sanity of digest subscribers Contact the list owner for assistance at [log in to unmask] For information about joining, leaving and suspending mail (eg during a holiday) see the list website at https://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/webadmin?A0=archives-nra
